PILOTS:
A Delaware River Pilot is compulsory and boards the vessel at the mouth of the Delaware Bay and provide pilotage to Reedy Point Anchorage. A Salem River docking pilot will take over at Reedy Point and con the vessel to the Mid-Atlantic Terminal. Entering and sailing from the Salem River is tide dependent and the river is very narrow with some soft sand shoal spots and a strong current. The Salem docking pilots are specially trained for this river and typically operate the vessel’s controls with their own hands.
